FlashInTheFlesh The only problem with this mod is that stealth is on vacation. You can no longer do missions in stealth mode, because any silenced shot (Silent Silencers and Throwing Knives), or hacked devices will put you in combat mode.
I too have NCA installed and for me it had too many gangers showing up even on the least dense version so I modified it so that they show up a lot less. What modifications did you do to your version, out of curiousity? :)
Is there a setting to increase the enemies "personal space" like the distance when they become aware of you, because like standing in front of an enemy base and tagging all of them individually doesn't seem something a gang would allow, same with the gangs on streets and alleys they only become aware of you when you stand right beside of them.
Can you somehow mod that the enemies pathfind out of their bounds, like usually they camp in their lairs too much and they begin spamming grenades. Sometimes they even stand on a hallway with a clear free path towards you and never push, is there a way to make them always push and run towards you? Maybe even use their vehicles if you try to run away from one of their lairs and they have one available.
There are two things governing it in the game. One is something called "restricted movement area" and it's used as a volume around combat encounters to limit the pursuit distance of enemies in an open world game. Without it you could have a situation where enemies would follow you from one edge of the map to another. I don't recommend it, but you can potentially remove it by searching for *InRestrictedMovementArea* condition checks and removing them from AI behavior records in tweak files. Second thing is faction aggressiveness. NPCs from each faction in the game have one ability indicating their aggressiveness level:
IsReckless
IsAggressive
IsBalanced
IsDefensive
IsCautious
This is affecting how many NPCs in the squad will stay in cover vs out of cover, if they pursue you when you hide, if melee enemies charge at you from long distance, or break line of sight and hide until you come closer to rush from behind a wall, etc. For example Animals and Maelstrom are reckless and push the player, while Kangtao and regular security guards are cautious and stay in covers. You can change it by either editing the condition checks in AI behavior records or the easier way would be by changing abilities in character records in tweak files.
If I want to make an in-between of Vanilla and current Enemy Aggro mod, is it enough to lower this value? inDangerRange = this.IsTargetPositionClose( sourcePos, 35.0 ); maybe to 24 for example?
The script is filtering and handling received events but first they need to be received. Tweak files contain the ranges from which stim is received. Modify either values for your needs. In my experience these values, while being high don't lead to extreme situations themselves. It's when you combine this mod with other mods, for example with Night City Alive, which loosens reaction conditions and makes NPCs react with combat to many different stims, that's where the combination might need tempering.
Is it possible to make a mod that does the OPPOSITE, so that only those enemies that are within sight enter the battle, so that the stealth mechanics are similar to Dishonored? I have been looking for a similar mod since 2019
Meshes really well with NCA, ERF, and Gunsensical to make NC feel truly dangerous. In vanilla I’d purposely walk through dark alleys hoping for a fight, but now I have to watch where I’m going much like I’d have to if I truly lived in NC
And with NCA it’s great, you see a little fight popping off, you get involved, and before you know it there’s like 3-4 gangs plus NCPD all going at it and wreaking havoc on the whole block. And this is with standard density NCA lmao
Your mods feel like they should've been a part of the game from the beginning.
I'd like to see your take on something like Night City Alive and build it using redScript rather than REDMOD like you have done with your other mods. Maybe even see your take at a curated collection.
Keep up the amazing work, dropped endorsements and kudos your way.

I'm getting this error ([error] Schema package editing is not supported) amongst the entries for this mod in the TweakXL log:

Additional info:
Game version: 2.21
TweakXL version: 1.10.10
Not sure if this needs addressing or not, but please let me know if you need more info.
But it's still a great mod and it works with
NIGHT CITY ALIVE (REDmod), Enemies of Night City and Dark Future - Urban Survival Gameplay
I find if I isolate my target and kill them fast enough (many points into cool tree) and die instantly, combat isn't triggered.

You should look into the mod Dark Future - Urban Survival Gameplay at Cyberpunk 2077 Nexus - Mods and community. It is one of those mods that add further depth into the immersive gameplay experience. I think it could give you some inspiration into what comes next.
